SOURCE: SCIENCE DAILY MIND-BRAIN FEEDTITLE: A single dose reversed autism-like symptoms in adult mice within hours
URL: https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2026/07/260724061436.htm
Even mild inflammation during pregnancy led mouse offspring to develop persistent brain overactivity, sensory sensitivity, repetitive behaviors, and increased seizure risk. Remarkably, one dose of rapamycin improved nearly all of these problems within about two hours. The benefits were temporary, but they suggest that adult brain circuits may remain far more adaptable than previously believed.

I don't have a problem with tags on clothing. I'm actually really good at removing them. #autism #sensorysensitivity #whyDoTheseSocksHaveTags?

Hey fellow autistics (& Co) - general curiosity / discussion question:
Do you have a sensory (or "experiential") sensitivity that might be considered generally innocuous or at least tolerable up to a certain point, but ANYTHING above absolute zero has your hackles up? Just nope, shut it down, I cannot be around / experience that because it shuts my brain down.Mine is whistling. Tuneless whistling is torture, but honestly even someone "good" at it, whistling a recognizable tune, has me like a cat with its fur stroked the wrong way. Instant tension and irritation flooding through my body, physically in fight mode and mentally in freeze / shutdown. It's a disruption / jamming signal on all my internal frequencies.
I think it's because I've always been able to hear higher frequencies and pitches - the vague electronic / electric squealing or whining in the office that no one else can hear but is drilling into my brain and giving me a headache. And while whistling might not be quite as piercingly high-pitched, it's approaching it AND it's a lot LOUDER than those "white noises" you feel more than hear, so somehow it's even WORSE and it really physically hurts me but I can't be the jerk who says, "hey can you knock off being cheerful and whistling a tune? it's causing me pain and mental distress" so I suffer in agitated, disregulated silence.

“Eat a healthy diet”
This sounds very reasonable and wise. And I'm sure that many people have no issues at all to eat all the "good and healthy" things that provide you with all your supplementary needs. But... I am definitely not one of those people! I have many issues when it comes to food. Smell, taste, the "feeling" of textures in my mouth... Sometimes things just smell amazing but when I put it in my mouth... A big gagging "nope!" happens and I have to spit it out again. Apparently, this is something that affects more NeuroSpicy 🌶️ people. When I looked it up, it even has a name: sensory sensitivity or oral/tactile defensiveness. It’s not about being picky or dramatic — it’s a neurological difference in how the brain processes sensory input like texture, temperature, or mouthfeel. So I guess it's definitely not just me dealing with this, and I know that I have tried so many things. But in the end, some of the more important vitamins and minerals, I need to get from supplements in order to get them at all. And there should be no shame in that. But it can be hard to read those warnings on the pill bottles, that the supplements can't replace a healthy diet. Because it makes me feel like I am not doing my best to eat properly and responsebly.

Hello! This is a post aimed at people whose tongues get burned by mainstream toothpaste.
Can you recommend a toothpaste that doesn't burn your tongue AND that contains fluoride?
Bonus points if it's available in the UK, but it's not a requirement!
(I'm currently using OHP1450 and it's okay - I don't know if that means anything to anyone? But even that still burns my tongue sometimes.)
I don't think it's the mintiness that burns my tongue. I think it must be some other ingredient, and I'm thinking maybe SLS? But I'm not really sure.

Why are sensory friendly clothes so hard to find? The only stuff I've found is outrageously priced. I spent $400 this week to get 1 pair of jeans and 3 bras. I'm grateful that I have the means to pay those prices every now and then, but how do less privileged folks with sensory disorders function? Am I looking in the wrong places for comfortable, hardware-free clothes that fit well and make me feel good?

The one roommate who drinks smoothies regularly has started the habit of announcing "Blender noise is coming!" and not only is that directly helpful, it's nice to know someone actually gives a shit sensory sensitivity is painful at times. Being heard and, to some degree, understood is an amazing feeling.
If you're not #ActuallyAutistic or dealing with #SensorySensitivity yourself, but someone in your life is, remember that the small things aren't so small.

Was just working and apparently roadworks nearby spewed toxic burning tar into the air and triggered my #asthma and #SensorySensitivity together. Sure do love to be working in a "low cost of living" area so I can be paid less for the same work in literal bioharzards.

I almost didn’t bring my AirPods with me today. But now I’m blocking out the awful waiting room tv with a lovely relaxing youtube vid. I should always carry these with me.

@sinituulia Interesting! The #sensorysensitivity seems to apply to fermented products…

...when your toes are cold so you want to lie in the sun but you're sensory exhausted so you need to keep your eyes out of the sun...
Currently thankful for the sun patch hitting my bed so that I can just stick my toes in.
(Blanket for the rest of cold me, lying in the shade)

Does anyone know of a really effective ➡️antiperspirant⬅️ deodorant stick with ✨minimal scent✨ that is available in the UK?
(I post this every 5 years or so just in case!)
